Application lled April 16` 1919. Serial No. 290,518.

To all whom 25- mag/ concern: e

Be it known that I, SAMUEL HEATH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county "of Philadelphiaand State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Combination Heating and Cooking Stoves, ofwhich the following is a specification.

' Myy invention relates to new and useful improvements in combination cooking and heating stoves, and has for itsobject to so construct such a stove that lit maybe applied to the wall gas outlet, permitting the use of the ordinary bracket for illuminating purposes to be attached thereto. f

The object ofmy'invention is to' so construct the burner that it will produce an intense flame by bringing about complete combustion.

A Vfurther object of my invention is to provide for the supporting of thevarious cookinof utensils so as to ermit baking t3 7 rw? broiling, and like processes without interferingwith th'eburner', and

A still further object of my invention is to provide means for supporting the stove upon a suitable standard, when it is desired to use the same with a flexible gas connecthe burner.

tion.r

With these ends in view, this invention consists in the details of 'construction and combination of,elementsy hereina'fterV set forth, and then, specifically designated by the claims. i i

In order that'those skilled in the,v art to which this invention appertains may understand how to make and use the same, I :will

describe its construction in detail, referring' by numerals to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this application, in which The figure is a side elevation of my iinproved stove illustrating it as attached to a gas outlet, portions being sectioned away to 4 clearly show the construction.

In carrying out lmy invention as here embodied, 1 represents a T-coupling one end 4of which is adapted to be threaded upon `the gas outlet 2, while the opposite end is pro# vided with a nipple 3 for the receptionl of the ordinary gas bracket, the object being to remove the ordinary bracket from the gas outlet, thread the T-coupling onto the Asaid Outlet, and then connect the same bracket to the nipple 3, which in eifect will leave the light in the same position as be* fore the stove was applied.

4 represents an extension the upper end of which is threaded into the T-coupling, and upon the lower end of this extension is threaded an L -coupling 5, in the opposite end Vof which is a nipple 6, carrying the sto cockl 7.

eading from thestop Vcock is the'pipe 8,

through the inner end of which is formed a small Iopening 9, through which the gas is projected at a high speed in the manner of a Bunsen burner.4

` Threaded upon the end of the pipe 8 is a T-coupling 10 withA an enlarged chamber therein, into which is threadedA the Vpipe 11, Y

the interior of which yserves as an extension of said chamber, so as to permit the air with this groove is connected the chamber y 15 formed by the enlargement 16 cast with This enlargement has a threaded opening 17 therein for the reception of the outer end of the pipe 11, thus putting the `groove 14 f into connection with the gas and Aair mixing chamber, as will be readily understood.

which the mixed gas and air will issue and i will 'burn with intense flames` the inner flames converging toward the center of the burner while the outer iiames diverge therefrom thus producing a large heating area.

22 represents cross ribs cast with the bodi Y of the burner serving to support the base 23. upon'which the hub 24 of the spider 25 is placed.'V

The spider 25 is dish'shapedQso as to bring its rim 26 to a higher level than its hub, for the proper support of the delector 27. This delector is inthe form of an inverted pan, having holes 28 through the. 'top thereof, to permit the passage of a certain amount of air for circulation from the burner, and if desired a ring 29 may be secured to the top of the defiector, for convenience in removing the same from the stove.

Threaded in the lower end of the T-cou pling 10 is a post 30, having a coupling 3l threaded upon its lower end, said coupling having a solid partition 32 equi-distant between its ends, the lower end of said couplingbeing internally threaded as indicated at 33 for the reception of the upper end of a suitable standard threaded for that purpose.

34 and 35 represent support rings, each so shown as being` made of a circular piece of wire, so bent as to produce a ring, and a shank 36, said shank terminating in an eye 37. adapted to fit around the post 30, but of such diameter as to be held against with drawal from the post by the coupling 3l. These rings are vertically adjustable upon the post, and when adjusted to the desired level, automatically maintain this level by the pinching of the eyes upon the post, brought about by the weight of the ring be ing exerted upon one side only. When the rings are adjusted to the height desired, they are still free to be swung around the post without changing the levels.

Each of the rings is adapted to receive and support a pan, and I prefer to use the form of pan indicated at 38 in the upper ring, and the form of pan indicated at 39 in the lower ring, the upper pan having a hole l0 in the bottom thereof, for the outflow of the juices of the material being cooked, when this is desired.

I have found in practice that my improved stove is well adapted for heating purposes, and boiling, roasting, broi'ling or toasting.

Then the stove is used for heating pun poses only, the defleetor 27 is placed upon the spider, which will tend to hold down the heat and deflect it toward the floor, thus preventing its rapid escape to the upper portion of the room, while the holes 21 in this deflector prevent the choking; of the burner by permitting a certain amount of circulation taking place therethrough.

When the stove is to be used for boiling, the deflector is removed, the spider then serving as a support for the kettle.

Then it is desired to breil, the deflector is used as before described, and the material to be broiled placed in the pan 3S after the latter has been adjusted to the proper height relative to the burner, when the heat radiat ing directly from the burner, plus that deflected by the deflector, will produce the de- Y sired result, the juices passing olf through the hole 40 into the pan 39.

This same adjustment is utilized for toasting bread and the like, in which case the pan 39 is swung to one side so that the toasted bread may be removed, while other is substi tuted therefor', thus making a continuous process.

When it is desired to use my apparatus for roasting meat.v the meat is placed in the pan 39, the pan 38 having been swung to one side, or removed from its ring. This will expose the meat to the' action of the heat from the burner andits deflector and bring about highly satisfactory results.

Y I have also found in practice that cake, bread or the like may be baked on this stove, by first l placing `the pan containing the dough on the spider until the cooking process has proceeded to a sufficient extent from the bottom, and then place it upon one of the rings soas to continue the cooking process from the top, and giving the proper .browning effect.

, When it is found desirable to use my improved stove as a portable device, any suitable standard having a suitable base may be provided, the upper end of said standard being threaded for the reception of the lower end of the coupling 3l, and in such cases a flexible pipe will be utilized-for connecting the stop cockand the gas supply.

Of course I do not wishto be limited to the exact details of construction as herein shown, as these may be varied within the limitsvof the appended claims without de Y parting from the spirit of my invention.

Having `thus fully described my inven tion, what I claim as new and useful is l. A heating and cooking stove compris' ing in combination a burner, cross ribs can ried by saidburner, a Abase supported by said cross ribs,a dish shaped spider provided with a hub, the latterjadapted to rest upon the aforementioned base, a rim on said spider at a higher level than the hub, and

a deflector supported on said rim.

2. A heating and cooking stove comprising in combination a burner, cross ribs carried by `said burner, a base supported by said cross ribs, a dish shaped spider provided with a hub, the latter adapted to `rest upon the aforementioned base, a rim on said spiderl at ahigher level than the hub, a deflector supported on said rim, and adjust able and rotatable means for supporting the pans one above the other below the burner. f i

` In testimony whereof, I have hereunto affixed my signature.
